SL East Girls Varsity Soccer vs. Milford HS School


The SL East Cougars took on the Milford Mavericks on a rainy night.  Right of the bat, each team played aggressively and the players were physical.   In the 14th minute of the game, junior Emma Pompo finds sophomore Alyssa Melquist who chests the ball in to find the back of the net. The Cougars played strong but the Mavericks were able to score two goals before the end of the half.  East was trailing 2-1 at halftime.   During the second half. East challenged and fought for every ball.  Their persistence paid off.  The Cougars were fouled on the Mavericks 20-yard line and were given a free kick.  Sophomore Kate Mazur took the free kick.  The ball hit the crossbar, bounced down and sophomore Kaylie Samluck tips the ball in scrum at the goal line to tie the game 2-2 with less than 13 minutes left in the game.  East kept up the pressure searching for the opportunity to take the lead.  That opportunity with less than 3 minutes left in the game.  Pompo uses her speed to beat Milford’s defender and crosses the ball right before it goes over the goal line to find Melquist again who uses her stomach this time to tip the ball in giving East the lead 3-1.  The Mavericks tried hard to find the tying goal but the Cougars defense were determined not to let that happen in the closing minutes of the game.  SL East beats Milford 3-2 remaining undefeated!
